One more try. POOR BOY

The 'catters have have tried hard to help me identify this artist with no success. I have it on my C drive and it is MP3. I have looked at dozens,(TRUE) of the same name, not it. I don't know where I got it but it is a great old song. Here are some of the lyrics;

Poor boy, such a poor boy Such a sorry sight to see So many troubles and the one that worries me is Just that I love a woman, more than that woman loves me

POOR BOY, SUCH A POOR BOY

Lately she don't want my peaches, lately she don't even want to shake my tree.

Poor man, such a poor man,whats a poor poor man to do. So many troubles and the one I can't get through I love a woman like a hound dog loves a bone

She can take it or leave it, and lately she's been leaving it alone.

It also has super guitar pickin. Jeep

Is it this one Jeep man?

Matchbox

I said I'm sitting here watching
matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches
but I sure got a long way to go
I'm an old poor boy
I'm a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy
and I'm a long way from home
I've never been happy
cause everything I ever did was wrong
Well, if you don't want my peaches
honey please don't shake my tree
If you don't want any of those peaches
honey, please don't mess around my tree
I've got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery, all right!
Well let me be your little dog
till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog
till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
watch how your puppy dog runs
Well I said I'm sitting here watching
matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches
but I sure got a long way to go


best wishes, Yvonne
"Matchbox" is by Carl Perkins - recorded by the Beatles, among others.
